I love a good coffee cake, and this blueberry crumb cake doesn't disappoint. First there's the crunch and spice in the topping before hitting the moist crumb of the cake.

Meaning of crumb cake: Cake or coffee cake topped with a mixture of sugar and butter and flour— from Link

I decided to bake my "coffee cakes" in little espresso cups. After a quick spritz with cooking spray, I baked them for 25-30 minutes.

On a side note, today marks one year of TWD posts. My first was last March 24th, which was one of my favorites: Caramel-topped Flan. I've learned a lot this past year about baking and community, and I've made many friends through this group. Thanks, Laurie, for starting this amazing baking sensation!Recipe

Green Valley Pecan Company sent me two ½-pound bags of pecans cultivated near Tucson, Arizona. I used them in this Blueberry Crumb Cake, and they're tasty. I'm giving away one of the bags they sent me. To enter to win, all you need to do is comment on this post.

I am in love with your crumb cakes baked in those little espresso glasses. They are adorable and elegant. One espresso glass of crumb cake and one espresso glass of espresso would be the perfect afternoon snack in my book!

You are the most creative person, I swear. Your little espresso glass crumb cakes might just be the cutest thing I have seen. Great job! I got some of those pecans too. I am sure they were wonderful in the crumbs.

Those look fantastic, delicious, adorable What a great idea. I would have been afraid to use my cups like that. Glad someone did. And the pecans made mine just right. Would love some more, even tho' I live in the south - Pecan Heaven.
